"[Bell] Hooks had just come from a seminar entitled 'Transgression: Whose Booty Is This?'"

"She said, 'Pussies are out. It’s bootylicious all the way.' [Laverne] Cox agreed. 'It is the age of the ass,' she said. 'Booty as cultural metaphor is really interesting. J. Lo made the ass a thing fifteen years ago, and now we have issues of ass appropriation.'"

From a New Yorker piece about a conversation between Bell Hooks, the longtime activist feminist, who's currently a Distinguished Professor in Residence of Appalachian Studies at Berea College, and Laverne Cox, the LGBT advocate and actress who's in the TV show "Orange Is the New Black."

Hooks proceeds to declare that she has "had an ironing-board butt all my life," and Cox responds with an observation about astrology, but maybe Hooks is not "into astrology," and Hooks says: "Oh, I’m into psychics, telepathics, you name it... All the paranormal world is very interesting to me." And both of them speak retrogressively about aging: "This aging thing is a bitch" (Hooks, 62 years old) and "I do not [reveal my age]. My official age is 'over twenty-one'" (Cox).

Observations:

1. Ageism is certainly one of the "-isms" that people still seem to feel safe about openly displaying. Maybe some day we will look back with shame at what bigotry we spouted.

2. It utterly amazes me that people who want to present themselves as intelligent and sophisticated nevertheless openly profess belief in astrology and other "paranormal" nonsense, including people like Hooks and Cox who are activists purporting to push the rest of the world forward into enlightenment. How can you get any footing to push when you're standing in blatant idiocy?

3. Asses. When will they be out?

Ann Althouse said...

"What the hell is "ass appropriation?""

Good question. I think it's probably critical race theory. Race is not mentioned in the article, but I think that's the reference. Both women are black, I think. The New Yorker seems to be making a point of submerging race. Why must it always be said that a black person is black? We're not informed of the whiteness of every white person who is ever mentioned in an article. But we are nudged to take note of it (or to be mystified by references if we don't already know).

Yeah, they probably should have edited some of that out. Professor of Appalachian Studies (which, what?) at least wouldn't sound like you are trying too hard.

The Crack Emcee said...

"Asses. When will they be out?"

They were out at one time? When? Has a single black man ever attended The Vagina Monologues? I grew up in South Central, so you'll have to pardon me:

We we ALWAYS into asses - and waiting for whites to catch up.

You don't seriously think blacks had pictures of Farrah Fawcett on our walls, do you? Christie Brinkley? Any other wheat-haired stick figure whites drooled over?

Meanwhile, white men were cruising our neighborhoods, trying to get their "Brown Sugar" - before they went back home to the white picket fence around their true desires?

White innocence - again - revealed to be a lie,...

Love it. It is very sing-a-long-able, which trait is missing in many current songs.

chillblaine said...

This whole transgender thing confuses me. Why subject oneself to a procedure that will make it impossible to ever again achieve orgasm?

When I become confused, I try to talk with my mom, because she is more sensitive than my dad. I think my dad is more powerful, and one day he took my mom's penis. This makes me feel very empathetic for her. Almost like I identify with her.

Where is the ageism, or are you being sarcastic?

Cause aging is a bitch. I helped some friends move a couple of months ago and I'm still not recovered.

I had a dream last night that I was laying down and surrounded by thousands of shaved cooches. They were walking past me, some stopped to talk, others walked by fast or ran, some mingled with each other. Some were smoking or eating or drinking. Some could talk and laugh. It was a weird dream. I screamed in the morning and waked the rare clumber and myself up-ready to start the day!

I walk between 6-8 miles a day-my new Iphone 6 tells me.

"That's a comic take on the assertion that "'Pussies are out.""

The serious point is that women are echoing male fetishization of isolated body parts.

Ann Althouse said...

"Is the good professor now becoming a same-age-marriage advocate?"

How would that follow from my statement? It would make more sense to say that I'm ready to become censorious of anyone calling attention to age in any kind of a critical way.

The Crack Emcee said...

tim in vermont,

"As stick-thin models show, white women don't really care what white men think,...."

Feminism is really just a white arguement between the sexes - white men abused white women (by cheating with black slaves) and white women have never forgiven them and will bitch about men, to this day, because of them.

Generally, black men don't have this problem:

Black women, at least, love us.

White women have almost been driven totally nuts,...

Ageism is certainly one of the "-isms" that people still seem to feel safe about openly displaying. Maybe some day we will look back with shame at what bigotry we spouted.

For some guys, youth isn't fun, but it gets better with age. It all comes down to a formula:

Lewis Wetzel said...

It's all idiocy. Imagine a white man who insists that he is really a black man born in a white man's body. He has surgery or wears prosthetics and make up to make him appear more 'black', and insists that you treat you him as he imagines that a black man should be treated.
You would think: "this is a crazy person. I will stay as far away from him as possible."

Shanna said...

"As stick-thin models show, white women don't really care what white men think,...."

I think it says that the gay men who run the fashion industry don't care what straight men want. Or women, for that matter (like pockets).

So if "bass" is a reference to the singer's rear, then what's "treble"? Is she saying she's flat-chested?

Jane, not to spend too much time parsing euphemisms, but I think she's just not putting emphasis on the treble, because it's all about that bass... heh.

MM, I don't usually gravitate to saxophones, is there a good bass line? Probably given the subject of the song. That may be why I like it.

Berea College was founded in pre-Civil War Kentucky as an integrated, co-ed, and tuition free college deep in the Appalachian Mountains that accepts its students based on their being from the poorest back woods families.

The Appalachian mountain folks still practice occult arts such as Water Witching, so Astrology is not that surprising.

I always ask believers how the gravitational pull of distant stars can possibly influence a birth, when the gravitational attraction from the attending (doula, midwife, doctor) is orders of magnitude greater.

But that usually confuses them because, you know, math is hard. Especially the inverse square law.

Big asses are in with the mediaswine, particularly the entertainment mediaswine, and the black community because, well, big asses abound in the black community. (I know, Crack. It was racist of me to notice.)

Big asses will never replace a great face or a shapely rack. Jay Lo and Beyoncé are beautiful. Kim K has a good face and a great rack. Sofia Vergara has all of it.

If it weren't for the rest of it, nobody would care about their asses. Take that homely woman the feminists love who takes off her clothes on tv, can anybody remember her name, let alone her ass?

http://www.yourblackworld.net/the-black-family-is-worse-off-today-than-in-the-1960s-report-shows/

Snip: "In 1950, 17 percent of African-American children lived in a home with their mother but not their father. By 2010 that had increased to 50 percent. In 1965, only eight percent of childbirths in the Black community occurred out-of-wedlock. In 2010 that figure was 41 percent; and today, the out-of-wedlock childbirth in the Black community sits at an astonishing 72 percent. The number of African-American women married and living with their spouse was recorded as 53 percent in 1950. By 2010, it had dropped to 25 percent."

Just facts.

Which are natural crackrepellents. Crack's check into "Fact Hotels", but they don't check out.

You have to remember also that crack remains blissfully unaware of the 45 year migration of blacks from the northern/midwestern urban centers back to the South.

He is also utterly unaware of the latino "blackenfrei" movements in many cities where latinos are "choosing" to "encourage" blacks to "voluntarily" leave areas of latino control.

It's important to Cracks world view that he remains ignorant of these simple to verify facts.

And if there's a couple of skillsets crack apparently has in abundance, it's that of self-delusion and superior self-imposed ignorance.

Impressive really.

I think it matters how you use "into." I, for awhile, was "into" astrology, in that I studied what the symbols allegedly stood for, the different signs, and the interesting Zodiac stuff.

There is an astonishing amount of this on the left. Self-proclaimed "spiritualists" that can tell me that they believe the soul leaves the body at the time of death, but, when pressed, will not commit to when it ENTERS the body.

Hooks and Cox are play-acting at being intelligent and sophisticated people. They've been cozened along in the misapprehension that they are intelligent and sophisticated by people more intelligent and sophisticated than they are, for a variety of reasons. If they were intelligent and sophisticated enough to realize this, even if still less intelligent and sophisticated than their enablers, they would be intelligent and sophisticated enough to realize that intelligent and sophisticated people find interest and belief in astrology and the "paranormal" unintelligent and unsophisticated, and would feign lack of interest and belief, even if privately indulging. But they're not, so they don't.
